A "Fish First"
Future for Alaska: Balancing Energy and Fish through Low Impact
Hydropower Development in Alaska

Join us for an evening session on Tuesday, April 26th,
for salmon appetizers and a robust discussion about the importance
of striking a balance between fisheries and energy needs for Alaska's
future. This session will be sponsored by AWRA, Trout Unlimited,
Wild Salmon Center, The Susitna River Coalition and the Alaska
Section, AWRA. Alaska is a state defined by its fisheries. Salmon
are the crown jewel of Alaska and thrive due to vast reaches of
unaltered water resources and pristine habitat. Hydropower also
plays an important role in Alaska's past and energy future. Projects
throughout Alaska demonstrate that hydropower and fisheries can
coexist. Panelists will represent different sectors of the conversation
around fisheries conservation and hydropower development to help
inform a discussion about hydropower and fisheries policy in Alaska.
There is no cost for this event.
